Ticks lots of boxes.
It's a great car, purchased the non Turbo with the aging 1.8 engine for reliability. After reading the Honda turbo issues lately, I'm glad I did.
Had this car for little more than 2 years now, with 30k on the clock, here are my personal pros and cons.
Pros:
- Spacious and very practical
- Reasonably quiet and comfortable
...Read more
- Not as quiet as Golf and Impreza, but drives better imho. - Android Auto and Apple carplay connectivity is great and stable on the 4 phones I tested. - 7 years unlimited km warranty (promotion) - Finally a Honda product without the rip off 6 months service interval, but.... Cons: - Service interval set at a tricky 10k or once a year, whichever comes first,.. that means twice a year service for most anyway, at almost $600, if you drive more than 10k per year. Interval at every 15k like most others, would have been great. - Rattle sound, around A-Pillar and fixed vents on top of dash. Not an isolated case, at least for the 2017/2018 builts. Unsure about the newer ones. - Roof metal sheet is super, super soft, bents easier and more than a Chinese plastic takeaway container. I noticed it while hand washing. - Passengers seat height adjustment would have been great. Way too low to get in and out for many. Mom and girlfriend prefer the backseats therefore. - minimum Unleaded 91 fuel required. Runs super smooth on 98, on 91 however it jerks a little once in a while and a noticeable performance drop, on mine anyway. Hope that helps

Honda’s definition of parking sensor limitation - ‘car wash’ is categorised under ‘bad weather’
I purchased a Brand-New Honda Civic from Austral Honda in May 19. The parking sensors are faulty and go off whenever they’re getting wet. They keep beeping for days After rain or car-wash, even without anything in front.
Initially the dealer tried to talk me over that it’s normal for parking sensors to go off in the rain. Just because so many people around me have parking sensors in their cars, I didn’t buy what they said. After contacted their service department for a few times, they told me Honda Australia is still waiting for a new counter ...Read more
measure parts to be released for the parking sensor grill. The waiting period can be up to 1 year, and I have to follow up the solution by myself as the service department wouldn’t be able to remember which cars have the sensor problems. Apparently, this is a well-noted issue to Honda, but they didn’t do their due diligence to check. If customers were UNLUCKY to pick up the car on a sunny day, then they wouldn’t be able to find out the problem until it’s raining or washed the car. After I made a complaint and requested a car replacement, their customer service called me and told me to read the car manual without an apology for the inconvenience caused. In fact, the manual doesn’t mention rain or water would create issues to the parking sensor at all. When I said that, their customer service was surprised and told me he would go and read the manual and then call me back. Our conversation only lasted for 1 minute, and I was shocked by their unprofessional customer service. On the following day, he called and told me " the manual doesn't mention of rain but does mention of bad weather, so “rain water” and “car wash” are all categorised under the bad weather." I don’t know if any normal people would believe car-wash is related to bad weather?! Regardless it's raining or car wash, the parking sensor should only go off when the car is approaching to objects, otherwise it’s not fit for purposes. However, once the car is sold, they don’t care about customers’ safety and the risk/loss we may face. Then what’s the whole point to spend extra money on those SAFETY features, when customer can’t use it from the very beginning and Honda doesn’t give a sh*t to safety. If there is any problem, they only find any ridiculous excuses to avoid taking responsibilities for the failure of their products, which doesn’t help customers instead make us more frustrated. It has been 4 months since I made the purchase, there is still no solution. I paid lots of money on a BRAND NEW car just in order to have a hassle-free experience, but unfortunately see what I get. Before you make a decision to buy a Honda, rethink of the product quality you may get, and most importantly what kind of irresponsible customer service you will have to deal with!!!Purchased in May 2021.

Best low maintenance car
I got this car for secondhand. Year model is 2017 and I could not be any happier with its performance. Simple and efficient, no extra functionalities and will totally give you a piece of mind.
Purchased in January 2021 for $17,999.00.

Shameful customer treatment.
A very good friend of mine bought a brand new HONDA CIVIC about six weeks ago .
Apparently as she was driving through Galston Gorge near Sydney . The front of the car started to wobble.
As it turned out the caliper came loose and the caliper, disc and god knows what else was damaged.
When she went back to the Dealer, they tried to tell her that she will have to pay for the damage because she should not have driven through the gorge.
Now I am a 67 year old male and if I was there at the time I would have had a few not so nice words to tel...Read more

Pretty good, but for the electronics
Used this car to travel to a remote area of Central Australia. Averaged 5.6 litres per 100km over 4000km. (Best 5.3, worst 6.1. Advertised as 6.0, so better than claimed) Handled some fairly rough dirt roads well, and was comfortable. We found the clock reset itself a couple of times inaccurately and with running lights on, as recommended in remote areas, very difficult to see the instruments. Finding how to adjust the various instruments and controls was not intuitive. For all that, it's a good little car and didn't disappoint.

An awesome driving experience
I just bought a VTI-S and it is a great car that handles well and has lots of options that are smart which makes it a nicer driving experience. For example, the keyless ignition and the parking brake is a button. Overall an excellent car that is a lovely colour. I would buy again (and actually hubby is really considering it).

Perfect Economical Car
We bought two Honda Civics a 2016 sedan and a 2017 hatch from Honda Mornington and the cars have been perfect. The car runs well and is economical run and maintain.
I like a sporty styling of the hatch version, however both cars have been without fault so far. It is spacious and a comfortable drive.

2017 civic type r
i went down to seaford to test drive this amazing looking car, i like the fact it’s styling is out there. Nothing i would change on it besides the conti tyres. i’ve never been a fan.
So let me tell you this car is amazing, But there are comfort sacrifices which is now why i have a golf R.
Honestly i point and shoot this thing into corners like no other car i’ve owned. Seats are very race inspired which have little adjustment and that’s the only reason i traded it.
Mind you i do have a bad back.
Besides that i cannot fault the car i would fu...Read more

Bang for your buck!!
The new honda civic is truly a unique vehicle. At first I did not like the styling features at all, but gradually the grew on me. When I was in the market looking for a new car, the civic stood out above the rest of its competitors. Standard features such as digital speedometer, multimedia system, and reverse cam all stood out for me. Although I went with thr base model, I am happy with my purchase as the top of the range was almost 15k more. The civic is very roomy and has a very elegant layout making it nice and simple to drive. I used to own...Read more
a new corolla before this and I am very happy with this purchase. Fuel consumption is great for a 1.8L. Overall, I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is in the market for a hatchback as it offers alot more than its competitors such as mazda, toyota and hyundai.Similar opinion?

Service every 6000km NO WAY
Service light came on at 6500km and 13500km
If you don’t service within 1000km you have warranty issues
Unacceptable
Other family car has 15k intervals
Dealership says due to driving. I say normal driver, normal roads, normal conditions
Honda fan for 30 years. No more
Do You want to buy a car that needs its oil and full service every 6000km

Great little car
I've always owned a Honda and upgrading to the new Honda Civic VTI MY17 hatch (base model) was a no brainer.
The new features of the Honda Civic is on par to the features of most new cars in the market; rear parking sensors, apple play/android friendly, digital speedometer and spacious console storage. I can only rate the performance based on my previous driving experience to my old Honda car and I can say its a huge improvement - its smooth, powerful and steering is very responsive. The car overall is surprisingly spacious for a "small" car ...Read more

Fantastic Daily With Plenty of Fun
This is without a doubt the best value for a performance car on the market in it's category. It offers world class handling in a compact car and is well equipped inside and out. Transmission most definitely exhibits Honda's signature Type R feel and turbo offers plenty of punch with minimal lag. Copious amounts of legroom for the driver and all passengers with a spacious rear cargo.
If you are chasing 0-100 times, this is not the car for you - do not be deceived by the FWD system. The interchangeable comfort settings are significant and the fuel economy is about 8.4L/100km with some spirited driving. The only disappointment is the exhaust note as it could be a little more aggressive but there are always aftermarket options.

Perfect little car
Despite its small size, the Honda Civic feels extremely solid and steady. The driving experience is great as the performance of the car is more than enough within the city/urban areas. The car has many smart features equipped, as does most newer models. The shape of the car is beautiful and very unique compared to the other cars on the roads today. I would definitely recommend this car!!

Beautiful Car In and Out
Purchased a brand new Honda Civic in the Lunar Silver colour. First time buying a brand new car and this definitely did not disappoint. Everything is perfect from the performance to the interior/exterior of the car. Very generous space in the boot and the back seats. Very fuel efficient and great extra features such as parking sensors, side camera viewing and no key locking.

Perfect Everyday Car
Bought a 2017 Honda Civic VTi Sport for $25,990 and a slab of beer. Car is great for a everyday car, not under powered and not over-powered. The handling is great as well, but there would be times where I prefer to turn corners better but that is just form me coming from previously owning a rear wheel car. Noise is very minimal making it great for road trips. Boot is spacious as well, can fit around 2 large luggage + small ones. Interior has that plastic feel but you get for what you pay for. Touchscreen apple android play is probably the best upgrade Honda did from their previous gen. So far, car has no issues and running costs (driving 50km a day) costs me around $40 per week in petrol which is considered pretty good!

Love my Civic
When the time finally came to upgrade my car I really wasn't sure what I was looking for. After test driving a number of vehicles I decided on a Honda Civic Hatch. I love the shape & style of this car. The fuel economy is great and I definitely feel I made the right choice
